Trump refuses to unconditionally recognize the result of the US presidential election
Trump continued, "Violence during the November election is 'totally unacceptable.' On January 6, 2021, radical Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in Washington as Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election was being certified. Trump had encouraged his supporters earlier to march to the Capitol and "fight like hell." The Capitol storming resulted in five deaths and approximately 140 injured police officers. It caused worldwide horror and is known as a dark day in the history of US democracy.
Trump strongly condemned any form of violence during the upcoming presidential election in November, stressing that it was "totally unacceptable." Despite this, his actions before the January 6, 2021, US presidential election led to a television duel of sorts, as his rhetoric encouraging supporters to "fight like hell" ultimately culminated in their storming of the Capitol. This controversial event, which saw Biden's victory recognition being interrupted, was supported by some Republicans. CNN, among other media outlets, covered the chaotic scene, resulting in five tragic deaths and over 140 injured police officers. The aftermath of this dark day in US democracy has raised questions about the future of political discourse and the responsibility of individuals in high office.
